[BL] Accidentally Becoming the Healer of the Deranged Archduke novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335: Meeting The Rival In Love And Not Knowing It?

When Xion stepped out for a stroll the next day, there was an odd excitement lingering in the air. Everyone seemed to be busy with something.

Even the guards were more alert.

Luckily or maybe not so luckily, he didn’t leave him guessing for long.

She placed a small crystal heater at the center of the table, its soft glow casting a warm shimmer across the surface. Although the pavilion was open from all sides, with these strong crystals, it was cozy enough not to freeze anyone.

Luna, who had been ordered not to disturb Xion’s peace, instantly moved.

It wasn’t out of stinginess or to tease the system... maybe it was due to a later notion. Despite the system’s desperate whining, Xion hadn’t purchased anything in weeks.

Darius also has that kind of voice. Of course, women fell all over him. I too fell for him exactly like that.

All he wanted to do was stay with Darius, and preferably, out of trouble.

He was waiting. Waiting for the healers he had trained in Faymere to return.

Ah, wait a second, Xion squinted his eyes to see the lady clearly.

Some wouldn’t make the long journey north, but others... others had promised. And Xion still believed in Bard. The young man was practically sticking to him in Faymere.

[What if we start a school here? Think of the educational joy!]

Like this blanket over his shoulders, or the steaming cup of tea on the table.

Knowing well that this lady was from the capital and here to wed the Archduke, Luna was even on more alert.

So, instead of standing at the far end where the other servants of Her Highness Bianca were waiting, she stood near the pillar.

Come to think of it, this was the place where he’d first kissed Darius.

"Good day, Your Grace." Dressed in blue silk, she walked with the calculated kind of poise only seen in the noble ladies.

The silly healer hadn’t heard the name when he got to know the news that day. He was only aware that there was some lady involved with Darius.

The mighty Lord of the North had stumbled to the ground back then. He looked so flustered.

"Of course they did," Xion replied with pride. "He does that to people, you know."

He cleared his throat and straightened his expression, trying to suppress the heat rising up his neck.

And this time, she didn’t retreat too far.

Even the old minister of protection had warned her not to let anyone bully the young lord.

’One more word and I really won’t buy anything from you. All those precious merit points will rot.’

"Nah, I am the lucky one here." Xion chuckled. "My Darius had that kind of face, you know. The kind that makes people scared, but he is actually a very nice person."

The praises were spilling from his lips one after another.

’Why would he give me something so precious?’

Sure enough, when Xion didn’t even stand up to greet her, Luna’s blatant behavior of treating her like an enemy made the princess’ facade turn cold.

Deep in his own musing, Xion didn’t even notice when this lady came so close to him.

Xion still hadn’t realized that this was the woman who was supposed to become his ’rival in love’.

So, there really was nothing he needed to buy.

Protocol of the servants be damned, she thought to herself. If His Grace needed her, she’d be there in a heartbeat.

If she was planning to take revenge, then all Xion could say was that her acting was immaculate. There was no flaw at all.

He kept his tone polite, but his spine remained straight, alert. In castles, courtesies were often daggers with ribbons. One just could never be too sure.

Yet trouble had a special fondness for him. Even when hidden in such a well-protected corner of the Darkhelm castle, it always found a way to him.

And Xion, for all his brilliance, remained blissfully unaware that he had become a whispered legend.

"Have a seat," he said, gesturing toward the empty chair with his chin.

Bianca’s smile seemed to falter before she controlled her expression. "They all say that having you, the divine healer, is the Archduke’s biggest victory."

He had no personal grudges with her, but her brother’s actions had left a shadow in his heart.

I wonder when Darius will return, Xion mused to himself, letting the little girl drape a blanket over him.

"Be careful, Your Grace," Luna said while helping her lord down the stairs. Her grip was gentle on Xion’s hand as she carefully led him forward.

Xion would need different kinds of materials for that, just like they did in Faymere. It had even put Xion in debt.

Nazia had assigned him a helper. A little lady, about the same age as Noxian. Correct content is on freew.ebnovel.c om.

Red hair. Pale skin. The Nocturne family name. Wasn’t she also from the vampire clan?

A flush crept from Xion’s ears to his cheeks. He had needed two refreshing reagents just to walk again afterward.

Though, even if he did find out, he’d probably just hide in his room for a week and sulk about the unwanted attention it brought to him.
